C2C Cycle Route Ultimate Guide Book

The C2C Cycle Route Ultimate Guide Book is the best-selling guide to the UK’s iconic coast to coast cycle route, the C2C, with listings of accommodation that have been checked as having cycle-storage.

The C2C or “Sea to Sea” includes around 140 miles of superb scenery, from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, taking in the Lake District and the Northern Pennines on the way.

As part of Sustrans’ National Cycle Network, the C2C uses mainly traffic-free paths and minor roads and is fully signed and waymarked. It is completed by thousands of cyclists every year.

This is the complete guide to the C2C, including detailed 1:50,000 maps of all route options, directions, what to see and do, accommodation, places to eat and much more. The guidebook covers the route from Whitehaven or Workington to Sunderland or Newcastle.

Author Richard Peace has written and photographed more than 20 cycling books and maps, while being a contributor to numerous cycling magazines and websites including Cycle (the Cyclists Touring Club magazine), Cycling Plus, Bikeradar.
